The principles of discard and regenerate parts are described as follows:
1) The parts of an object are discarded (discarded, dissolved, volatile, etc.) or changed during work after they have completed their functions or become useless;
2) parts that have been used out of an object should be recovered during work;
For the discard principle (1), there are two meanings: First, if the components are no longer useful to the system, they should be removed to avoid waste; second, we should consciously use such temporary components to reduce costs or achieve our goal. There are many applications that discard principles:
A) use the volatility and solubility of some substances to create "hollow" products (hollow profiles) or temporary protective casings
* The shell of the drug capsule can be packed with powder and dissolved after entering the human body. hollow metal balls are made. Temporary brackets during spring Manufacturing
B) add temporary components to increase some capability and discard them after their functions are completed.
There are also a lot of such applications, such as rocket booster, auxiliary fuel tanks of aircraft, bullet shells, and bubbles in rocket transportation that evaporate after shock absorption;
C) Some components have multiple purposes:
For example, an airplane's fuel becomes a bubble during an emergency landing, which contains special chemicals that can stop fuel burning (changing during work); (US patent)

The regeneration principle expresses that, if some parts in the system are slowly consumed during the working process, these parts can be regenerated best during the working process. It is more difficult to regenerate than to discard it. For example, if the gasoline of a car is consumed, it would be nice to regenerate it. However, although difficult, as an innovation, this undoubtedly points out a direction:
A) regularly transmits corrosion-resistant substances that are easily attached to the wall of a corrosive liquid in a pipe; (Soviet patent)
B) lawn scissors self-cutting system (this is also an application of the self-service principle)
......
Note that such regeneration does not have to be a material re-engineering or continuous supplement.
The abandonment principle and regeneration principle are two sides of a thing.
For the system, the redundant items should be removed, and the reduced items must be continuously regenerated.
In addition, this principle implies a key point, that is, time, in the process of system operation, not before or after.
